Are you separating and want to formalise child maintenance and support payments? Need certainty over your obligations or entitlements? A Binding Child Support Agreement could be the solution you need.
At RV Legal, we offer a fixed price service to help you put a legally binding agreement in place for child support, so there are no surprises later. Our experienced Family Law team can guide you through the process, ensuring your agreement complies with the Federal Family Law Act, protects your rights, and gives you peace of mind.
Dealing with child maintenance and support payments can be stressful. But, with RV Legal, it doesn’t have to be. We work with you to reach clear and practical outcomes that are in the best interests of your child.
What is a Binding Child Support Agreement?
A Binding Child Support Agreement is a written contract between two parents (or a parent and a non-parent carer) that sets out how child support will be paid. Unlike informal arrangements, a Binding Agreement is legally enforceable.
It can set the amount, method, and frequency of child maintenance and support payments, and it can even include lump sum payments or payments made in non-cash forms, such as school fees or health insurance.
Before signing a Binding Child Support Agreement, each party must receive independent legal advice. This ensures that you fully understand your rights and obligations before entering the agreement.
A properly drafted Binding Agreement offers certainty and stability for separated families — and ensures that children are financially supported into the future.
